Happy Hugs Weighted Bull Dog

The Bouncyband Happy Hugs Weighted Bull Dog rests on the lap like a friendly companion and delivers the gentle, calming weight that helps children with sensory needs settle, focus, and reduce anxiety.

Weighing approximately 2.5 pounds and shaped like a soft, huggable bulldog, the Happy Hugs Weighted Bull Dog provides lap-based deep pressure input that is well established in occupational therapy as a calming strategy for children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, and anxiety. Children can hold it, rest it on their lap during desk work, or hug it during stressful moments. The soft plush exterior makes it comforting to touch, and the machine-washable construction makes it practical for daily school or home use.
